In Hong Kong sind in den 1950er bis 1980er Jahren unter spezifischen politischen, sozialen, klimatischen und räumlichen Bedingungen typologisch innovative und architektonisch prägnante Gebäude entstanden. Die Sammlung dokumentiert erstmals 36 Wohn-, Industrie- und Gewerbebauten, welche in Hong Kong in grosser Zahl errichtet wurden und die Stadt bis heute prägen. Die Publikation erscheint anlässlich der Ausstellung 'Hong Kong in Zürich' im Istituto Svizzero in Venedig 2010.
